Q and A - How can I improve my proofreading skills?

Proofreading – the process of reviewing text for grammatical errors – requires knowledge of grammar, spelling, punctuation and capitalization. It also requires a technique for uncovering potential errors. Here are a few:

Read whatever you have written aloud. You may hear an error that you did not detect while reading.

Ask someone else to read your text for grammatical errors, then make a list of those errors. Use the list to determine whether you make common errors or whether yours are unique.

When you understand the errors you are prone to making, look for them in subsequent writing.

Buy a style guide and keep it handy when you proofread.

If you run a Bay Area Small Business, in Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley or anywhere else, you need to proofread every marketing piece you send out multiple time.
